IAC Sensor Bad? When i got my cam installed and tuned, my car has a problem with "warm" start. This happens when the car has been running for any amount of time > 10 mins. You turn the car off go run a quick 10 - 15 min errand or what not go and restart the car and struggles to catch idle for 20 or so seconds beofre it fully catches idle. It will stumble around 500 - 700 RPMs going up and down till it cathes...
When you turn the car off, the IAC position is supposed to reset to 310. Mine resets to 190. Now my tuner has cahnged it in my computer for it so say 310 when you shut the car off. it is not responding, so i swapped IAC sensors thinking that the sensor is bad. NOPE still does not reset.
Anyone else having this problem or do they know how to fix it????

Adjusting the set screw isn't going to cure the fact that your IAC is "parking" itself at 190 steps. That should be adjusted in the Idle Airflow Parked table, which is for determining where the IAC valve should be at key-on and key-off positions. The other option would be to increase the Start-up Friction Airflow settings so that extra air is added post start-up for the first 20 seconds or so.

I was there when i adjsuted the PARK table.. he set it to 310. And the my PCM took it, but it does not apply it....
Now for the Start-Up Friction AirFlow, never heard of that.. will mention that

Keep ya posted. Should be up and running by the weekend provided everything goes according to plan.

Spec 3+ is what im running with an adjustable master cylinder, i am sure the same setup would work for you provided you install it and break it in properly.
Post your vids in the multimedia forum thats the best place for them.
